Skincare Tips - Park City, Utah

It seems obvious to me, but you'd be surprised how many people have asked me over the years if cleansing is really that important. I am always a little shocked when I get asked that question because I know that cleansing is the MOST important step in your skin care routine. At least 50% of the solution to having gorgeous and healthy skin depends on the cleanse. I have always stressed this with my clients and I like to spend some time explaining why the cleanse is so important.

Not only does the ritual of cleansing make you feel good and ready for your day but also prepares your skin for any other products that you'll be putting on your face after. Without a good cleanse and cleanser, all of your serums and moisturizers are just going to sit on the surface of your skin and do nothing. If a cleanser has been well formulated and has good active ingredients, like Lactic Acid, leave in on for at least 2 minutes to let those active ingredients go to work. If you rush the cleansing process, you'll be wasting your time and literally washing your money down the drain.

Take for example KMSKIN AHA Exfoliating Cleanser. It was designed to be gentle enough to be used by all skin types morning and night. Lactic Acid is the primary active ingredient, it's an Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA for short. The benefits include, a light exfoliation, lightens dark spots and hydrates skin leaving it smoother, brighter and younger looking. The key to unlocking all those benefits is to give it time to work.

Lactic acid is an organic acid derived from milk. My clients are often surprised when I tell them that it is super gentle and even hydrating. All acids are not created equal. Acids work differently and address different skin concerns. Lactic Acid is by far my favorite and the most versatile and that's why I put it in my cleanser.

The 2 minute rule will make all the difference in how your skin looks and feels. Removing dead skin cells prepares your skin to penetrate every other product you put on your face.

I don't think anyone is interested in wasting their money on skin care products and then not getting results. Remember, in order to achieve gorgeous results, you need to regularly remove the barrier that prevents all of your other products from doing the work you paid them to do.

With KMSKIN AHA Exfoliating Cleanser, all you need to use is a pea size and add a bit of water to create a foamy lather. Massage into skin, face, neck and decolletage, leave it on for two minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft clean towel. This cleanser exfoliates, brightens and hydrates and can be used both morning and night. There is no reason to have two different cleansers if you invest in a good one like KMSKIN AHA Exfoliating Cleanser plus is your cleanser has a balanced pH you absolutely do not need a toner.
